Match Prediction of CSK vs DC: Who will win IPL Qualifier 2 match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals? Here's a look at some of the statistics of the two sides.

Mumbai Indians (MI) made it three wins in three against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to enter the Indian Premier League (IPL) final. Delhi Capitals (DC), meanwhile, saw off a nerve-wracking final over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to win their maiden IPL knockout game and book a Qualifier 2 date with MS Dhoni's CSK.

It's been a dramatic fall in grace for the Chennai franchise as far as the batting unit is concerned. The team averaged 36.48 per wicket in their title-winning 2018 season but have only managed to muster up an average of 28.23 this season per wicket. Although CSK were the first side to book playoffs spot this season, most of the credit for their progression goes to the bowling department, primarily Imran Tahir, Harbhajan Singh and Deepak Chahar.

Faf du Plessis has been the most reliable top-order batsman while the likes of Shane Watson and Suresh Raina have struggled to put in consistent performances that had seen them emerge as key players the last term.

Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, would be delighted to have seen Prithvi Shaw get back among runs with a half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1. Shaw's return to form will boost the team's hopes at the top as Shikhar Dhawan was the only opening batsman contributing runs thus far in the season.

The opening issues of the two teams can be understood considering the fact that CSK have the worst average this season for the first wicket partnership at 18.07 while DC have the second worst at 27.27.

Despite such inconsistency, the capital franchise has stuck with the same opening combination throughout the season, which takes the tally to a record 15 matches.

Here's a look at some other statistics which would be under focus as Delhi Capitals take on Chennai Super Kings at Vizag:

1. Delhi have an incredibly poor head-to-head record against Chennai, losing 14 of the 20 matches they have played against the Southern franchise. At neutral venues, CSK have edged DC in head-to-head record, winning 3 of the 5 matches while losing 2.

2. The Super Kings skipper Dhoni leads the run-scoring charts in the fixture, having scored 520 runs against Delhi in this fixture so far. Shreyas Iyer, meanwhile, tops the list for his side with 171 runs.

3. Dwayne Bravo heads the wicket-taking charts in this particular fixture with 11 scalps to his name while Amit Mishra tops the same for his side with 8 dismissals.

4. The two matches played between Delhi and Chennai this season ended up in the favour of Dhoni's men, including a thumping 80-run win at Chepauk.
